The Milano Café at 97 Nguyen Chi Thanh Street has become popular by offering a speciality - the 'cookiefee'.

A cookiefee features a cookie cup coated with a thin layer of chocolate inside and containing delicious Italian coffee.  Cookiefee-lovers should drink the coffee and eat the cup within 5-10 minutes otherwise the coffee will begin to leak out.

The special drink has been popular in Ho Chi Minh City since the middle of 2014, but late last year the Milano Café became the first venue in Da Nang to start offering it.

A cookiefee set

Around 300 sets of cookiefees are now sold at this coffee shop every day.  Normally, it takes around 15 minutes to prepare a set, but by visiting the venue in its happy hours between noon and 5pm, customers usually receive their drinks at a cheaper price.

Thanks to this speciality, Milano Café has attracted a great deal of attention from local customers, especially younger ones.  Student Ho Thi Thanh Truc from the city’s University of Technology said that what makes the cookiefee special is that the cookie is just soft enough to allow a little coffee to slowly soak in, but the cookie stays crisp enough to remain waterproof.
